British Labour Party officials, working at party headquarters, on the clock, on and around January 13 this year, invented and chortled over the most vile and indefensible slurs, smears, and lies they could think of to launch against Conservative Party politicians in the weeks leading up to the elections this fall. They even sent their smears and plans around in email, and praised themselves on | Read More »

Over at Huffpo, Dishonorable Congressturd Barney Frank penned a long-winded screed to slam Republicans for their “amnesia” about how they, and not Democrats, are the only ones culpable for the current financial crisis. As anyone with a brain will notice (which cancels out those from Frank’s district who keep voting for him), it is nothing more than an attempt to deflect from his own malfeasance | Read More »

Bailout beneficiary Citicorp has come under sharp criticism for trying to spend $50M for a new corporate jet, paying massive bonuses to execs, etc. But of course it’s another story that right after the election they kicked in a cool $100,000 for a Caribbean vacation for Charlie Rangel and a few other black legislators. Compare and contrast the outrage over Jack Abramoff’s hosting of a | Read More »

As indicated here, I think that the country has bigger fish to fry than the the state of Tim Geithner’s tax returns. But perhaps in writing what I wrote, I was a little quick to dismiss the magnitude of the situation. To be sure, this is an argument for tax simplification and to be sure, if Tim Geithner was a Republican-leaning plumber voter, he would | Read More »

What was it I commented earlier today about buses? Well, we all saw this coming http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090104/ap_on_el_pr/richardson Of course, The One’s judgement will not be called into question. Richardson is a democrat so it’s the fault of the VRWC. Apologies to the readers for this being so short but after all what more is there to say? I’m sure Moe will come up with something, so | Read More »

“Do you have another question?” Well, guess that clears up this mess. Nothing going on here. I am just surprised that this know-nothing report wasn’t the recipient of a Smiting From Heaven for having the temerity to expect a (if not THE) deity to answer a question. However, the reporter continued, trying to get Obama to remedy a seeming conflict between Obama’s “hands-off” approach dealing | Read More »

From Pejman Yousefzadeh we learn that in the heat of the Blagogate scandal, President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel was asked by reporters Thursday if he was the Obama advisor named in the criminal complaint against Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL):

There has been quite a bit of buzz regarding Nancy Pelosi’s investment in CLNE, but on a couple of blogs the numbers seemed to jump to where I was getting lost . It is important that much of this is vetted properly so that the rest of the nation can find out what we seemingly already know.

From Fox News online: “In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.” I guess this is sort of along the lines of the “I didn’t inhale” defense. “According to friends of Hunter, Edwards met her at a New York city | Read More »

The National Enquirer dropped the first bombshell in October, 2007, when Edwards was still a candidate for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination: PRESIDENTIAL CHEATING SCANDAL! ALLEGED AFFAIR COULD WRECK JOHN EDWARDS’ CAMPAIGN BID The article described the “other woman” as someone who had previously worked on Edwards’ campaign and withheld the woman’s name. But if the story was to be believed, word of the affair | Read More »

Taking a page right out of what they call the Republican playbook, the DNC has launched this wonderful website to “scare us all straight”. This group paints each possible VP with their own Bush/Cheney brush. The funny thing is, they even have the nerve to bring up links to Abramoff as if their party hasn’t had it’s own issues with fundraising – Norman Hsu, Charlie | Read More »
